תספרו חמשים יום
The Rosh explains that
even though it says fifty days it means forty-nine days but
the Torah rounds it off to the nearest
ten the same
way as when the Torah tells us to give forty Malkos it is
actually thirty-nine and rounded off to the nearest 10
.
We also find the Torah says they
came down to Mitzrayim with 70 people and actually there were
only 69.
( רא"ש סימן מ' ערבי פסחים)
In Ta'anis 29a The Pasuk
says the Meraglim returned after 40 days the Gemoro asks it
was only 39 days
In Kiddushin 38a
on the Pasuk that they ate the Manna for 40years the Gemoro asks, it was
40 years minus 30 days.
In Sanhedrin 107b the Gemoro asks on the Pasuk that Dovid
Hamelech was king for 7years (Chevron) + 33 years
(Yerushalayim) and the other Pasuk it says He was king
in Chevron 7 1/2 years.
According to the Rosh, why doesn't the Gemoro answer in
these 3 cases, that the Pasuk rounds it
off to the nearest 10?
